Northampton Museum and Art Gallery is appealing for the loan of Spice Girls memorabilia to be part of a Spice Girls exhibition that is coming to Northampton next year.

Spiceworld: The Exhibition attracted over 50,000 wannabe fans when it opened in Leeds, Mel B's hometown, earlier this year. It tells the story of the 90s girl band's rise to super stardom and pays homage to all things 'spice', including genuine clothing worn by Sporty, Baby, Scary, Posh and Ginger.

Northampton museum is keen to give a local twist to the exhibition by including memorabilia from local fans.

Victoria Davies, Northampton Borough Council museum officer, said: "Spiceworld: The Exhibition proved a real hit in Leeds and I just know there will be some really huge Spice Girls fans closer to home. We would love to hear from them and maybe feature any memorabilia they may have in a special display that will be shown alongside the main exhibition."

Spice Girls fans who can help with the display or want to find out more about the main exhibition can call Victoria at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery on 838111.
